man, i want to reply and say something positive and negative about this Bible work but i cannot. i was in sophomore in high school when Youngblood #1 was first published, 2nd semester and my friends and i were all like "wow". i think he was in his early 20s. do you guys know if this Bible renditions are original concepts by Rob Liefeld? of course the stories are not...or do you guys think he's in need of cash really bad? any of you guys comic artists?

Thank you, Toboro. Those stealth fast packs really look good, especially on a Hikaru VF-1S...combined, the valkyrie reminds me of the old 1/55 Bandai Strike Valkyrie.

1/48 = 11 i'd like to complete my 1/48 collection though. i cannot find a 1J stealth with armor any where. 1/60 = 3 waiting for the yf-21.

yeeaah! open that baby! i got mine from a MW fellow member back in 2005 for about $265, opened and with panel lining and water decals applied. i've yet to decide whether to clean it up or not. the 1st ver low viz does look good with the stealth strike pack...so i opened it up last week. now i've transferred the stealth strike pack on to a Hikaru VF-1S as a strike valkyrie...the strike parts really does look good on it, reminds me of the bandai 1/55. i remember when the 1st ver low viz came out for only $144 at TMA.com...man, i should have bought a couple. great buy!

i wonder if the blue color will be slightly darker on the final product. anyway...i'm getting one. got my yf-19 already waiting patiently. yamato, please upgrade your boxes. eliminate the big flimsy boxes and turn to corrugated boxes like the Takara Masterpiece packaging. the sturdiness, matt finish with spot vanishes is really nice...well worth buying your toys if this will be the case. right now the SV-51 packaging doesn't feel like a $220 collector figure. damn, too bad i wasn't able to throw out the packaging issue to Graham before meeting with yamato.

is there any other production car that can top the veyron bugatti at breaking 200 mph in a 2 mile straight? do you guys think a Formula 1 race car can beat the typhoon on that same track?

very nice indeed...i'm gettin rid of most of my toys...and i saw these. damn it. but my question now is, how poseable are they...like RAH figures? i have a Robocop by HOT Toys and he's pretty cool. i guess what i'm asking for is a poseability like the SOC EVAs damn it!...someone needs to make sturdy locking joints.

speaking of HLJ...i'm actually browsing the site right now and noticed the new Soul of Chogokin Spec XS-01 EVA-01. do you guys know the scale size of this figure compared to a 1/100 master grade gundam? or is the EVA-01 closer to a 1/144? i know that the EVAs are depicted in many sizes on the show to evoke "greatness" on the machine, and so i asked the question above because i think it'll look great with some of my Gundam Fix i have. i truly think that the Soul of Chogokin Spec XS-01 EVA-01 is one of the best action figures out there in terms of poseability, design...and playability.

So when's Graham gonna git back with us to let us know how the meeting went with Yamatizzy?

A friend of ours just got evacuated in Mira Mesa area. Careful out there guys and gals, be safe. I'm at work right now...but I do remember in 2003 about the exact same time today, looking out the window at work and seeing the cedar fire crawl over a hill. I've never a mountain side on fire before, but it's freaking crazy...like a huge @$$ wave of flame. Damn too bad I didn't take a shot of that mountain side...it was really scary.

they should have FANS like us design some robot sketches for them! what do you guys think? Omega Supreme should be there because Bay likes huge Rockets...and then the Constructicons to complement Omega.

nice photoshoppin'. that'd be sick though to have a real one. i'd like to get those large revoltech joints to place on 1/6 scale figures.

Here's the Target case, http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/TransformersDVD/2862830

hey so the TF movie that came out yesterday on DVD...did you guys see any from Target? The case transforms into and optimus prime... http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/TransformersDVD/2862830

is the VF-4 the fastest valkyrie?

it'd be perfect grade gundam kits, binaltechs and 1/6 action figures...andy maybe some SOC figures...must be over 28 cm tall...heh heh.

Anyone know what the next PERFECT GRADE will be?

Seems like everyone's received their SV-51s as the replies have lessen a bit on this topic. I opened up my pre-ordered box from LAFToys and it's decent. I was expecting better artwork and font usage...heavier box, but nope. I wish the instruction booklet was in color. First impression I had was the SV-51 doesn't feel like a $220 toy/figuring/action figure. I left the figure at work, and have only held it while on jet mode. It doesn't feel solid. The 1/48 surpasses this toy in terms of being well rounded; especially the 1/48 feeling more solid. I've yet to read the complete 90s area regarding stress marks and loose hinges...and Graham's review (amongst others) I did noticed both wings to be loose. Aack, and nothing against LAFToys, they did an "ok" job on the packaging but my Yamato box was dented/creased on many places. But then again, it maybe from a bad batch straight from the provider. I'm gonna check out this valkyrie more and hope that after transforming/posing/fiddling with it, that I may feel that $220 was well worth spent. I hope that the upcoming YF-21 will have tighter joints in all places, from wings to shoulders.

Lurker, nice collection. Do you have anything planned for sale for the downsizing?

gosh damn...looking at those photos of the 19 and the 1s, and man they are GAUDY!!!! sorry to say gang, but those two look like they were spray painted with matt car paint and lined with a Pilot or Sanford Gold Ink pens. aw geeez. now the funny thing is, i pre-ordered both? wth? i think it's the "limited" thing getting to me like the LV1, paying thrice the amount to get one. sheeesh. we should take a vote of who's buying and who's skipping these issues.

Man, the editors need to double check their info on some of the import toys cuz they are off. i'm a fan of robotech/macross and that photo is a 1/48. i'm also a gundam fan, and that perfect grade they're showing is 12 inches tall, not "nearly two feet tall"....ah geeez. man, i have a takara prime and the 18" spiderman with 67 p.o.a....does that make me special?

Aw man!...this dvd just came out? I'm hitting up Target tonight! I like this movie a lot; it's just wholesome goodness, with Ben Stiller! Don't you feel like the Mystery Men with your circle of friends fighting crime and doing justice?...that is at home and at work...from bbq, mowing the lawn to that last minute project? Eh heh heh. I think All Star by Smash Mouth really went well with the movie (I think)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM96bQkJ-mc Wholesome goodness my friends...and also with Pee-Wee Herman! LOL. Buy It! Good flick to watch while winding down after a long day of snowboarding! And lotsa beer! Or just simply kickin' it with your buddies! And don't forget to watch "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" on the Sci Fi channel (USA)...hee hee!

oh man, i dunno for me...the colors are just not doing it for me...and the gold trim. these 25th annv pieces reminds me of some kid spray painting the entire figure and using those gold ink pens to do panel lines. and i be these will probably a little higher than the other valkyries. at this point if i were to get it, it'll be because it's a 25th annv version. a repaint. now if yamato were to come up with a better packaging for these two 25th valkyries and add a stand, and some nice colored printed booklets to go along with it...then maybe i'll get it. repaints suck. yamato should have done the VF-4 for the 25th annv...i would feel a lot more excited and fired up. the vf-19 was release twice already, and now for a third time? and the same goes with the VF-1s...sheeesh. now i don't know the haps with marketing or where yamato stands in terms of meeting numbers for this year, or if they have a quota for the next five years...but they know fans will buy macross stuff no matter what comes up...even if it's the 10th repaint of the same mold. i just think that the 25th annv event or time would have been more special or exciting with a different valkyrie. i mean, just look at the topic of this post; "stickers vs tampo"?

I know that the BT-18 is coming out, which is a repaint Ford GT; Mirage ... the body panels are clear plastic parts.
